(Note: Times, speakers, and topics have stabilized, but may
still change slightly.)

We expect all the talks to be deeply technical, given by
designers and implementors to designers and implementors. We all
speak Code here!

These talks, we hope and expect, will inform the audience, in
detail, about the state of the art of language design and
implementation on the JVM, and the present and future capabilities
of the JVM itself. (Some will do so indirectly by discussing
non-JVM technologies.) Beyond that, these talks will inspire us to
work together with JVM-based technologies to build the next great
software systems.

JVM Language Summit — Notes on the Agenda

The summit conference runs a full three days, September
24-26.

All talks are in Sun’s Stanford Conference Room
(SCA05-1116); it is set up classroom style.

The first talk is at 9:00 each morning.

Light breakfast food is available before talks start, at
8:30.

Non-Sun attendees must be badged at the Clock Tower reception area; badging starts at
8:00.

Talks range from 20 to 60 minutes in length, and are grouped in
four 60- to 120-minute blocks per day.

There are openings for impromptu “lightning
talks” and time set aside for open
“unconference” style interaction.

Lunch is served on site.

A breakout room is available for quiet conversation or ad hoc
consultations.

The conference will be recorded professionally by InfoQ.com, who will be posting them on the
internet. We encourage you to allow your talk (including audio and
slides) to be recorded and posted. We will not do this, however,
without a signed release
form, so if you do not wish your talk to be recorded, simply do
not complete the release form.

If you mark the indicated spot on the speaker release form, we will
put your talk’s PDF (or other presentation file) on the
conference wiki, so that the other conference participants, and the
rest of the world, can see it there.

All talks are held in Sun’s Stanford conference
room, which has an overhead Infocus projector with a VGA
connector. Please send PDFs of your slides in advance to Brian
Goetz, so that we can have them ready to project from our laptop.
But, if you plan to present from your own machine, please make sure
it can talk to a VGA connector. (Macs generally require an adapter
to do this.) To allow last minute debugging of AV connections in a
private setting, there will be a ready-room (the MIT conference
room) adjacent to the main conference room. We will also supply
a clip-on microphone.
